Production

Development

The series, written by Shin Ha-eun, was her comeback after co-writing the 2019 drama The Crowned Clown. It was first announced on December 21, 2020, under the working title of Hong Ban-jang (홍반장). The series is a drama remake of the 2004 movie Mr. Handy, Mr. Hong starring Kim Joo-hyeok and Uhm Jung-hwa and written by Kang Seok-beom and Shin Jung-goo.[44]

Casting

Casting was first announced on December 21, 2020, with Kim Seon-ho and Shin Min-a being offered the lead roles.[44] On April 2, 2021, it was officially announced that Yoo Je-won will be directing the drama literally translated as Seaside Village Cha-Cha-Cha (갯마을 차차차). In the same time, Kim Seon-ho and Shin Min-a were confirmed as main leads,[45] also Lee Sang-yi was being offered the role.[46] The drama marked Director Yoo Je-won second collaboration with Shin Min-a after both worked on Tomorrow with You (2017).

Filming

The first script reading for the cast members took place on April 21, 2021. Filming was initially scheduled to commence on May 8 and primarily took place in Pohang.[47][48] The drama was planned to wrapped up filming on October 6, 2021.[49]

Music and choreography

The series features onscreen song covers performed by the characters. Music directorLim Ha-young was responsible for selecting all of the songs used. However writer Shin Ha-eun, director Yoo Je-won, actors, and the crews also actively contributed ideas. Similar to the character Hong Du-sik from the original film,[50] Kim Seon-ho sang and played guitar in the drama. In the drama version, Du-sik covered "Old Love" from Lee Moon-sae, different song from the original film.[51]

Other characters in the drama also performed at Gongjin Village's "Lighthouse Song Festival." The festival's opening stage featured Gongjin's resident celebrity, Oh Yeon, performing his only hit song, "Exercising in the Moonlight." To create a realistic festival atmosphere, Jo Han-chul sang and played the guitar live. The song was composed by Lim back in the nineties. It was specifically chosen to achieve an authentic nineties sound and was a fitting choice as it ranked second in the 1993 K-pop Top 10 Gayo, making it the most significant achievement for nineties singer Oh Yeon.[52][53] According to the production team, the festival scene in the sixth episode was both the most important and the most challenging to film. It required a substantial amount of time due to the large number of participants and the unpredictable weather during the rainy season. Additionally, filming had to adhere to strict quarantine rules due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[54]

Streaming television

Following its release on Netflix, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha became one of the platform's most-watched non-English television shows. According to FlixPatrol, a website providing global rankings for shows on Netflix, the series placed number 8 on its global chart. It remained on Netflix's most-watched non-English popular television show list for 16 weeks in global top ten rankings, and reached the top 10 charts in more than 20 countries.[13][14][84]

It also remained on Netflix's Top 10 Chart for television shows for more than two months from its last episode.[85][86]

Data Analysis and Survey

During its run, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha achieved notable rankings and generated significant buzz. In the Content Power Index (CPI),[a] powered by RACOI, the drama entered the Top 10, ranking 6th in the 4th week of August (August 23–29).[88] It continued to perform strongly, reaching 3rd place in the drama category and 4th overall in the first and second weeks of September. By the third week of September, it climbed to 2nd in drama and 3rd overall. For four consecutive weeks, from the 4th week of September to the 2nd week of October 2021, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha secured the 1st rankin the drama category. In the overall category, it placed 2nd in the 4th and 5th weeks of September, dipped slightly to 4thin the 1st week of October, and then returned to 2nd in the 2nd week of October.[89][90]

According to the Good Data Corporation, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha consistently charted in the Top 10 of the TV Topicality Ranking in the drama division from the 3rd week of August to the 2nd week of October 2021. It ranked 8th in the 3rd week of August, 3rd in the 4th week of August, and the 1st and 2nd weeks of September, then climbed to 2nd place in the 3rd week of September. The drama eventually secured the top spot in drama popularity in the 4th week of September and 1st week of October. The main leads, Kim Seon-ho and Shin Min-a, consistently ranked high during this period; Kim Seon-ho took 1st place and Shin Min-a ranked 2nd for consecutive weeks from the 3rd week of August to the 4th week of September. In the 5th week of September, Kim Seon-ho ranked 2nd and Shin Min-a 3rd. In the 1st and 2nd weeks of October 2021, Kim Seon-ho regained the top spot, while Shin Min-a ranked 5th in the 1st week and returned to 3rd place in the 2nd week.[91]

Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha also made its mark by entering the Top 20 "FUNdex,"[b] ranking 17th with a score of 83.13 out of 355 Korean dramas aired from 2018 to 2021. "FUNdex" predicts content's fun factor and box office potential by integrating six data points: household viewers, 20-49 age group viewers, topicality, performer topicality, clip views, and media attention. This ranking utilized data from Good Data Corporation and public data from RACOI.[93]

On April 18, 2022, the results of The 2021 Big Data Utilization Hallyu Market Research were announced. This report, published by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and The Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE), focused on public interest in the Korean Wave. It analyzed the current status of the Korean Wave by collecting and analyzing real-time global online reactions. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, along with its leads, Kim Seon-ho and Shin Min-a, were among the most searched and prominent keywords related to K-drama in the report.[94][95]

The drama's popularity directly impacted the brand reputation of its main leads. According to big data analysis by The Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute, in September 2021, Kim Seon-ho topped the drama actor brand reputation ranking, while Shin Min-a secured the third position. The analysis considered factors such as brand participation, media volume, traffic volume, and communication volume, measuring and indexing them with a brand reputation algorithm. Compared to the drama actor brand data in August 2021, their brand reputation collectively increased by 21.00%.[96][97]

In a year-end poll conducted by Gallup in South Korea, Kim Seon-ho was named Gallup Korea's Television Actor of the Year, and Shin Min-a ranked second, further affirming their widespread recognition.[98][99]

Critical reception

Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha garnered critical acclaim for its simplicity, acting, cinematography, setting, and overall vibe. Variety recognized it as one of "The Best International TV Shows of 2021," ranking it sixth. The story's lighthearted nature and simplicity offered a refreshing escape amidst the pandemic's gloom. On December 21, 2021, NME placed the series eighth on its list of "The Best Kdrama of 2021." According to NME, the show won viewers over with its straightforward approach to dilemmas, avoiding overly preachy or tacky tones. Each episode felt like a warm embrace from strangers who became family, providing comfort whether viewers experienced daily highs or lows. Graham Falk of The Scotsman also included the series in his list of "Best K-drama TV shows on Netflix: The 10 most highly rated Korean dramas on Netflix."[100]

Jan Lee of The Straits Times awarded the drama 4/5 stars, citing its idyllic setting, charming leads, and colorful supporting characters as key reasons to watch.[101] Pierce Conran from South China Morning Post gave it 3.5/5 stars, noting that the hit rom-com kept things simple. He added that while it occasionally indulged in "hokey dramatics" to bolster its "wafer-thin narrative," it never risked alienating its committed audience, who remained hooked until the end.[102] S. Poorvaja of The Hindu stated, "Ultimately, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha is a good example of how K-dramas can get romance right, even as it attempts to provide more nuance and depth into the struggles of its lead characters. For everyone who has had their minds blown by Squid Game, this outing is a worthy representation of what else K-dramas excel at: slice-of-life goodness and wholesome romance of the best kind."[103] Chad de Guzman from Time included the drama in his list of the 8 best Korean dramas on Netflix, remarking, "'Best' doesn't always have to mean 'intense and thought-provoking'. Sometimes it can simply mean easy, enjoyable viewing."[104] Joel Keller of Decider offered a mixed review, stating, "There's enough good things about Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, including the seashore scenery and the chemistry between the show's leads, to recommend it. However, there are moments when it moves so slowly that the momentum comes close to grinding to a halt."[105]

Professor Mo Jong-rin, from Yonsei University Graduate School of International Studies, praised Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha as refreshing. Professor Mo suggested that, "Netflix, the provider, may not have intended it, but Squid Gameand Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha are logically connected. The community of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha serves as an alternative solution to the harsh reality portrayed in Squid Game. I apologize to Squid Game fans, but I genuinely hope that foreigners remember Korea as a warm country that presents a community-based alternative to societal issues, rather than a country that simply criticizes reality in a provocative manner."[106]

Meanwhile, Bang Yeon-joo, another pop culture critic from PD Journal, offered a more mixed review. Bang pointed out some disappointing aspects, stating, "The portrayal of men and women in the drama followed typical stereotypes, despite attempting to showcase the contrasting personalities of Du-sik and Hye-jin in three dimensions. The episodes where Du-sik appeared to rescue Hye-jin whenever she faced a crisis were a clichéd setup that reduced Hye-jin to a 'damsel in distress' character."[107] Bang acknowledged that despite the drama's plain subject matter and genre, it achieved commercial success. This was attributed to the development of not only the romantic relationships in Gongjin, a seaside town, but also the endearing and affectionate characters of the townsfolk, which created a calming and enjoyable atmosphere.[108]

Pop culture critic Jung Deok-hyeon described Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha as a "Soft Healing Drama."[109] However Jung expressed a similar sentiment, particularly regarding a scene involving a house trespasser that seemed to appear out of nowhere to further the relationship between Yoon Hye-jin and Hong Du-sik. Jung mentioned that this aspect felt like a weakness, as clichés once more acceptable are now harder to embrace due to changing sensibilities. Despite these perceived weaknesses, the viewer response remained positive, mainly because the fantasy depicted through the virtual setting of Gongjin was exceptionally compelling. This is especially notable within the context of a highly competitive reality, as depicted in the intense and gripping series Squid Game.[110]

Impact

Commercial

Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha's commercial success significantly impacted its production house. Studio Dragon reported sales of ₩64.9 billion in Q3 2021, a 27.7% increase year-over-year. Sales proportion also rose to 55.9%, up 8.1% from the previous year. GTist, the production company for Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, reportedly achieved a full profit in 2021, with a net profit of ₩2.1 billion. CJ ENM, the parent company of GTist, Studio Dragon, and tvN, recorded consolidated sales of ₩857.5 billion and an operating profit of ₩87.8 billion in Q3 2021. This marked a 7.4% increase in sales and a 23.6% increase in operating profit compared to Q3 2020. This growth was attributed to the success of major dramas, including Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. TV advertisements and content sales also saw significant increases of 22.9% and 33.3%, respectively, year-over-year.[111][112]

The drama's popularity also sparked a "Gaetcha Craze," leading to a surge in sales for featured properties. The wine Yoon Hye-jin gifted to Hong Du-sik in episode 5 received a sudden influx of orders and temporarily sold out.[113] Hye-jin's bag also sold out,[114][115] and inquiries about other clothing, jewelry, and shoes worn by Shin Min-a significantly increased. Hye-jin's fashion gained popularity due to its delightful combination of sophisticated style and unique, lovely charm.[116]

Kim Haeng-sook's poetry book, "Portrait of Echo," garnered renewed attention after its poem, "The Gatekeeper," was featured in the drama. Since its 2014 release, the book had never made the bestseller list. However, thanks to its inclusion in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, the public rediscovered it seven years later. The book quickly climbed to second place on Kyobo Bookstore's poetry bestseller list during the first week of October and entered third place on Yes24's Korean poetry bestseller list by the second week of October.[117] Additionally, the Korean translation of Henry David Thoreau's Walden, read by Hong Ban-jang in episode 2, reached 11th place on Yes24's essay bestseller list by the second week of October. Yes24 reported significant sales growth rates of 369% for "Walden" and 3,257% for "Portrait of Echo" in the week before and after their exposure in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.[118]

Yes24 reported that the limited first editions (writer's edition) of the unedited scriptbooks for Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha 1and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha 2, featuring autographs and messages from writer Shin Ha-eun and actors Shin Min-a and Kim Seon-ho, quickly topped the overall bestseller list within a day of pre-sale. Over 9,000 copies were booked on the publication day alone, showcasing immense popularity. Individuals in their 20s (36.8%) and 30s (32.4%) formed the largest share of script book purchasers, followed by those in their 40s (18.7%) and teenagers (7.4%). The male-to-female ratio was approximately 1:9.[78][119] According to an Aladin official, the scriptbooks soared to number one on Aladin's bestseller list on October 16, 2021. The official stated, "While we have been selling scripts of popular dramas, it is rare for a drama script to top the bestseller list," as reported by The Korea Herald.[120]

Tourism

Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha's popularity significantly boosted Pohang tourism.[121] The drama's setting quickly became an integral part of Pohang's tourism itinerary, and the local commercial district and overall economy reportedly experienced a revival due to its popularity.[122]

The drama also made a significant contribution to Yangju tourism. The Chang Ucchin Museum of Art, established in 2014, was featured in episode 12.[123] According to a Yangju official, the museum's distinct white structure and harmonious integration with its natural surroundings captured viewers' attention, leading to increased inquiries about the museum.[124]

On November 24, 2021, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha content became available via the LG U+ XR platform U+DIVe. Studio Dragon partnered with the Korea Tourism Organization and LG U+ to present virtual reality (VR) content using the drama's intellectual property. This project aimed to promote Korea's beautiful tourist destinations through drama content. All content was filmed in VR, capturing the unique emotions of various spots in 3D 180-degree high-definition video for an enhanced immersive experience. Lee Sang-yi reprised his role as Ji PD, becoming a virtual guide for Gongjin VR tour.[125]
